I am after a good quality forged 17x9 rim with offset of between +28 and +30. About the only thing i can find is the std R33 GTR rim. I nee 9.5 rears, but it looks like i will have to go with odd front to rear rims so i can get the sizes i want.

Any wheel groupies out there know of a brand?

what are you smoking roy?

you want a 9.5 rear, but you're asking for a 17x9 +28 to +30?

what is the question???

you're a weird unit.

I agree with ronin. You are on some weird shit roy, and i want some....

Can we go back a step? What size semis are you trying to fit to your nugget, and how mangled are you willing to make your guards?

LOL, was tired when posted thread. I want a matching set of wheels. After farkign around with so many sets the past 12 months looking for brake and guard clearance, this is what i have decided i can run without too much stuffing aroudn with guards.

Front. 17 x 9 +30, R33 GTR rims can be used and guards easily lipped to clear them. For the rears my old 17x9.5 +38 were almost perfect for the rear. Again , a little lipping and rolling of guards it would have plenty of clearance

I want to run 245/17 front tyres and 255/17 rear tyres. Ideally want to run the same set of rims, but i cant find anything that is forged and in the sizes i am after. Looks like i will grab the first set of rears i can find (TE37, LM GT4, RPF1 etc, plenty of choices) and run R33 GTR rims on the front.

I have a set of 17 x 9 +20 which i think will be ok on the rear but front isnt going to play ball. But at least this means i can run 245 all round and rotate tyres based on wear...lol but i would prefer the 9.5" out back and 255 tyre

Think ahead a little further Roy. I went through the same issues you are currently dealing with in regards to tyres for a gtst.

I wont go in to the thought process that led me to where i currently am but it worked.

I now run 17x9 all round with 255 x35x17 all round.

the benefits are obvious, I can share the wear to a greater degree by having 4 tyres the same.

And..More importantly. Skylines are big heavy fronted jew nosed bugga when it comes to weight distribution. Always fighting understeer and premature front tyre wear etc. By bringing the fronts to the same size as the rears it made a marked difference to the way the car handles.

I am going to take it a step further before next seasons time attack series and swap out to 18's and maybe around 275/285 rubber.

35 profile? So you are still running road tyres as i was not aware of a semi that comes in such a low profile?

Interesting point, but my car has never struggled for understeer, the way i have it set up it really is a tad oversteery if anything

Yeah my bad Roy, The 17 inch dunlops are 40. The new rsr federals are a 35 tho. Keen to try them as they look a real step up from the earlier model which was a capable all round tyre but no match for the more dedicated track rubber like the dunlops, bridgestones etc.

troy, you can go 33 GTR all round and run a 245 on the fronts and a 255 on the rears. the 255s still go 'ok' on the 9. that is providing you can fit the +30 9s on the back with the 255 (i think you can). I just hate it when I can't "fiena" the wheels I want. lol. put the can down before posting!

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
